Born in 1968, I spent my early life in Leeds, Yorkshire.It was during these formative years, that a love of painting and drawing was first instilled. I am self taught and have painted seriously since the early 1990's. There have been a number of artists who have been a particular influence and inspiration. These include international artists such as Jim Warren, Harley Brown, but alsolocal artists such as Said Ahmed.

Subjects include landscapes, seascapes and portraits. These are sold as either prints or originals. Mostly,I enjoy working on individual commissions, where the challenge is always one of capturing the essence or character of the subject. As well as various exhibitions in Leeds, Durham, Newcastle and many of my works are held within private collections in the United States, Australia and parts of Europe.
